Using Manual Lymph Drainage on someone with a healthy lymphatic system is one thing. But, working with someone who has had plastic surgery is a WHOLE different ball game!
You feel confident working with someone who has a HEALTHY lymphatic system. You can EASILY do a full body Manual Lymph Drainage routine, with your eyes closed!
BUT, when it comes to treating someone who has just been through the trauma of a surgical procedure, you panic, knowing you don't have enough knowledge or skills to successfully treat this patient.
You worry that you will COMPROMISE their healing process. NOT benefit it!
It's time to level-up your knowledge and skills!

Here's what students have to say about Petra's training...
Leonie Gelly
Before doing this training, I felt like I wouldn't be able to treat patients as good as I liked. By the end of the course, I was so much more confident because of the increased knowledge. So, if you're a Manual Lymph Drainage therapist new to this field, then all I can say is 'Do It!' You won't regret it.
Erin Daly
I was scared of doing harm, unsure and lacking confidence to positively help the person before I did this course. But afterwards, I became much more confident. So, if you're wondering about doing this training, just go for it! You will learn so much and your doubts will be less.
What's Included
1 Four Days of Training with Postop Specialist, Petra Erving
Spend four fully packed days with Petra where she shares her knowledge, skills and specialist strategies so by the end you will be able to plan bespoke treatment sessions based on your client's surgery and individual presentation
2 Four Days of Training with ScarWork Specialist, Jan Trewartha

What Students Say About Jan's ScarWork Training
Sarah Sewell
This course has been a revelation to me and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Like many therapists I came to ScarWork as I felt unable to adequately assist some of my patients who were struggling with traumatic scars and associated dysfunction. The course structure worked well for me with a mix of theory and practical so I left the course feeling confident about incorporating the skills into my daily clinic work and excited about potential outcomes for my patients!
Ali Reeves
I was looking forward to this course very much as I felt it would complement my existing practice but was delighted that after having my own scar worked on (which I hadn’t considered might be a cause of my back problems), I felt an immediate improvement which has remained since the course. I am able to stand for long periods and also sleep through without waking up in pain – an added bonus.

Here's What Others Are Saying About Petra's Training...
Nic Kenworthy
I was so excited to do this training! Petra's knowledge and experience with postop patients shines through. Everything is easy to understand and her tips and strategies are simple to follow. Thanks Petra for putting this together. It has helped me be better with my patient treatments.
Misrak
It was what I was missing. I have learned a lot. The training really gave me a good understanding on what was happening for my post op patients. I can explain to them what is happening or what I am doing. Everything seems to fall in place for me, and all that I am doing makes sense. I feel I am more credible now.

More feedback about Jan and ScarWork
Carole Caplin
Jan is a superb teacher. I was worried I wouldn't take it all in, there was so much material. But Jan has calculated exactly how much time to dedicate to every aspect of the training. From the concept of ScarWork to the detailed academic knowledge, (which she takes enormous care to keep simple but thorough) to honing the hands-on techniques and all the nuances of when, how and when not to apply them.
Jan Gray
I have been refreshingly reminded of the profound power of light touch and amazed at the very obvious and positive effects ScarWork had on almost all of the people treated including myself. I was amazed at the profound effect of the scar work on my small barbed wire scar in triggering a welcome unwinding in every way, with childhood memories recalled and afterwards emotionally and physically feeling much more open, lighter and brighter.
